I'm also a noob here, been mountain biking for a few years and have definitely read my fair share of threads but never registered/posted. I've owned a few different bikes, Diamondback X-2, Trek Fuel EX-7, Specialized Hardrock SE, and now my latest - a 2009 Santa Cruz Superlight. Just bought it and haven't had a chance to bring it out to the trails yet as the weather is poor, but can't wait to ride later this week! Will post pics etc. later on. Cheers
